As far as the meta is concerned I am hoping that FFG decides to only remove Personalities and certain thematic cards ever from the "legal" pool of playable rather than whole Arcs. By doing this they will leave a metric ton of playable cards in the deck and that is where this game shines. By being able to make a massive variety of decks it makes it nearly impossible to counter because even the bleeding "optimal" edge gets wider and wider.

Compared to making whole arcs illegal and always keeping the competitive deck pool to a few hundred cards total.

LCG model means we will probably never seen bans, and at best we might see a "2nd Edition" where they cycle out some cards in some years. Additionally, there is typically a set time limit (Also many years) on any particular cycle (though not the core set).

Have they revealed if clan packs are evergreen, like big boxes?

I am taking about more in the storyline of the game itself if like... They kill Kisada or Shoju or Toturi. They will introduce a new clan champion and presumably in competitive play Kisada would be banned and the new champion would be the allowed one.

For one example. I forsee actions and events and attachment changing only extremely rarely (probably only a dozen or so times over the lifetime of the game) but I think their may be a lot of personality turn over if they decide to embrace the story aspect of the game.

It has been stated that the story is in no way connected to card legality - in fact, the core set contained a character killed in the initial Crab fiction.

For now sure. 5 years on and 8 bazillion new card interactions to account for? I could definitely see them using it to get rid of some.

How weird will it be seeing someone flip their provinces and seeing 4 clan champions? XD

I would expect FFG would release a revised core set and any of the other champions that were released in expansion or clan packs would rotate out...................if we ever get to that point

They have a history of this with Game of Thrones. Ned Stark remained legal for a long time at least, if he isn't still legal (I don't know, I don't play GoT). They said fairly early on "This is a snapshot of this character".

If we don't eventually get Experienced versions of characters with 3 lines of Traits I will be very disappointed. That was the best part of oL5R!
